Matt Bonner did what now?

— redsarmy.com — Yes, Matt Bonner drove from the 3 point line... down the lane... and flushed it two hands on Toronto last night. You know what that means, don't you Raps Fans? The Raps have now slipped below "Lamar and Khloe" on the "point-and-laugh" meter. Congrats. (more) Matt Bonner did what now?

I have to get a pair of Air Bonners

— hiphoopjunkies.com — SPURS 131, RAPS 124 Maybe they should have called off this game.  Then, maybe the Raptors could have taken the time to review their defensive schemes again.  Before the tip off, there was some sort of an issue with the wax on the court, and they were contemplating ...

Welcome To Chemistry 101

— projectspurs.com — By Robby Lim The Spurs season is still in its infancy but so far it would seem the Spurs can’t find a groove. There are times they look a step slow on defense and times where they can’t find their shooting touch. Some Spurs fans might get easily worried or frustrated about the slow start ...

Monday Bullets
ESPN.com - TrueHoop — ... Tim Varner of 48 Minutes of Hell: "The Spurs’ early struggles owe themselves almost entirely to lousy defense, especially in terms of rebounding and contesting shots near the hoop. The problem is neither with schemes (the Spurs typically dominate the defensive glass) nor with the personnel (the roster has more than enough shot blocking and rebounding talent). The team simply needs to adjust the minutes within the rotation and feature more of its traditional bigs." ...

Great Exercises In NBA-Related Internet Postings 11.8.09
Hardwood Paroxysm — ... This would be, in many ways, the nuclear option. LeBron goes to LA, remakes a franchise in his own image. Shares the town with Kobe. Makes LA the global basketball universe capital. Plays with Baron Davis, Eric Gordon, bigs, Blake Griffin, and makes oodles of money. It would melt the rest of the NBA leaving only LA shining in the dreary post-apocalyptic landscape like the Emerald City when the sun goes down. Nightmare fuel. Weird things in San Antonio, where the Spurs are struggling because of their fundamentals. Like Ron Artest running out of crazy. ...

Pounding The Rock — ... Tim Varner's analysis on our team defense up to this point is a must read for every Spurs fan. Click here now. As far as I could tell, Hill spent most of his time on the court deferring to Manu and RJ, and he still found ways to blow my mind, making the most of his minutes at the helm. We already knew he could use his amazing athleticism to finish strong at the rim, but his different hesitation dribbles and his odd combination of tear drop/finger roll have never looked so sharp. He was quick, decisive, fearless, and even had time to dish out 5 assists. ...

Pounding The Rock — ... First things first, Tim Varner wrote an excellent piece over at 48 Minutes of Hell discussing the state of the team's defense five games into the season.  You can point to a lot of factors for our defensive deficiencies -- Tim's knees, the new guys, Matt Bonner, an out-of-shape Duncan and Ginobili, a tired-from-summer-ball Tony Parker, Matt Bonner, Pop tinkering with different lineups, Matt Bonner, the loss of defensive ace Bruce Bowen, and Michael Finley's corpse.  ...

48 Minutes of Hell — ... to defend Dirk’s mid-range jumper. But at a certain point defense comes down to tenacity and both Bonner and Bogans were relentless on the defensive end of the floor. The fact of the matter is, Dirk is going to score. I’m content to know that, every time he took a shot, he did so with a hand in his face.

He breaks down the Spurs defensive struggles and focuses on their lack of rebounding. I won't tell you what he concludes because you should read it for yourself, but I will say that I agree wholeheartedly with him. ...

The Spurs interior defense has sputtered out of the gate, and the early indicators are that this is not simply a matter of chemistry or associated with new players learning a new system.  This is a personnel problem. Are the Spurs a post defender short of legitimate contention? ...
